Don't miss i4cp at ASTD's International Conference & Expo!

If you're attending the ASTD 2011 International Conference & Expo next week, don't miss one of i4cp's many presentations and panels - we'll be leading four great sessions on integrated talent management, the future of learning and other innovative topics.

	Connecting L&D with Integrated Talent Management Presented by Kevin Oakes \| Sunday, May 22, 12:00 - 1:15, Room W 207 (Session SU107) In this session, you will hear a combination of the latest research as well as best and next practices from leading organizations on the role the learning & development staff is increasingly playing in the Integrated Talent Management movement. As a starting point, the group will discuss the top-level findings from ASTD's recently published report, Learning's Critical Role in Integrated Talent Management, including information on how high-performing and low-performing organizations use talent management differently.
	Beyond the Ivory Tower: Leveraging Research to Develop Your Talent Panel with Beth Frechette, John Gibbons, Matt Tokorcheck, Sandra Edwards \| Monday, May 23, 2:15 - 3:30, Room W 107 (Session M21EXD) This session will explore how high-performing companies have taken research-based intelligence and translated it into strategies and practices of their own. Hosted by American Management Association and the Institute for Corporate Productivity (i4cp), the panel will discuss such issues as identifying sources of human capital research, leveraging research in developing and advocating for new human capital strategies, and more.
	Uniting the Silos: A Guide to Integrated Talent Management Panel with Jennifer Homer, Kevin Oakes, Pat Galagan, Rebecca Phillips, Teresa Roche \| Tuesday, May 24, 10:00 - 11:15, Room W 311 (Session TU107) This session explores learning and development's role in integrated talent management and highlights several organizations who are successfully doing this today.

	Web 3.0 and the Transformation of Learning Presentation by David Wentworth \| Tuesday, May 24, 1:45 - 3:00, Room W 207 (Session TU222) In this session, you will hear about how the learning profession defines Web 3.0 and how it envisions the incorporation of these technologies into the learning function. You'll learn about the degree to which high-performing organizations have already adopted Web 2.0 technologies into the learning function, their plans for Web 3.0 technologies, and how this is likely to play out in the future. The speakers will focus on three key components of Web 3.0: the Mobile Web, the Semantic or "Smart" Web, and the Immersive Web or "Immernet."
